Kitchen Remodel in Odessa, TX

A kitchen remodel is the biggest upgrade most Odessa homes ever get — and the cabinets are the biggest line item in it. This page walks through what a remodel actually involves, how the cabinet portion works from first sketch to installed boxes, and what the cabinets realistically cost, so you can plan with real numbers instead of guesses.

What a kitchen remodel actually involves

Every remodel is different, but most of them include some mix of the same work:

• Removal. Old cabinets, countertops, and sometimes flooring come out first.
• Layout changes. Moving a wall, relocating the sink or range, or adding an island — this is the part that adds plumbing and electrical work on top of the cabinets.
• Cabinets. The design, build, and install of the new cabinet run — usually the largest single cost and the part that sets the look of the whole room.
• Countertops. Measured and cut after the base cabinets are in, because the tops have to fit the installed boxes exactly.
• Flooring, backsplash, and paint. The finishing layers that tie the room together.
• Appliances and fixtures. Sizes matter early — the cabinet design has to be built around the actual range, fridge, and sink going in.

The cabinet work is where Permian Cabinet Design comes in: design, an honest price range up front, and cabinets built to fit your kitchen instead of trimmed-down stock boxes.

The cabinet portion: design, price range, build

The cabinet side of a remodel runs in three steps:

• Design. Start with the free designer on this site — lay out your walls, place the cabinets, and see the layout take shape. Then an in-person measure confirms every number before anything is built.
• Price range. Your design gets priced with the linear-foot framework below, so you know the bracket before committing — not after the old kitchen is already torn out.
• Build and install. Cabinets are built to the measured layout, then installed level and anchored the right way, ready for countertops.

What the cabinets cost in a remodel

Cabinet pricing here is figured by the linear foot — one foot of cabinet run along the wall. The tier sets the rate, and the rates below are installed ranges:

Base cabinets count at the full rate. Upper cabinets count at 70% — they're shallower and use less material. Tall cabinets like pantries and oven columns count at 130%, because they run floor to ceiling. So a mid-size remodel kitchen with 18 feet of bases, uppers over 10 feet, and a 3-foot pantry counts as 18 + 7 + 3.9 = 28.9 linear feet, which puts the cabinet budget at:

Countertops, appliances, and any plumbing or electrical moves are separate from the cabinet number — a realistic total remodel budget plans for those on top. For the full pricing breakdown, see the cabinet prices page.

How long it takes — honestly

Plan on weeks, not days. The design and measure step is quick — days. The build is the long part: cabinets made to fit your kitchen take real shop time, and rushing that step is how corners get cut. Installation itself is usually the fast part once the boxes are ready. A full remodel with layout changes, countertops, and flooring runs longer than a cabinet-only swap, and any contractor who promises you a finished kitchen in a weekend is selling you something. Getting the design and price range settled early is what keeps the whole project moving.
